“My husband was seriously injured in a tractor trailer accident. We called several of the advertising firms out of Springfield. We even hired one. After a year of doing nothing on our case my aunt recommended Tim to me. Tim took over the case and within a few months had found evidence which got us a settlement. I don’t know what we would have done if we hadn’t gone to see Tim.”
“My husband and I were seriously injured when we were hit by a drunk driver. We initially hired a lawyer out of St. Louis. He did nothing on our case. Tim understood how serious our injuries were and how overwhelmed we were being out of work and having hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills. Tim took our case to jury trial and won! At one point we would have been willing to settle our case for the defendant’s $50,000 insurance policy. Instead, with Tim’s help, we ended up with a multi-million dollar verdict.”
“I was referred to Tim by a friend. At first, I was hesitant to speak to an attorney. Once I sat down with Tim, he explained to me that I had three separate cases. One for workers’ compensation, one against the person who caused the accident and an underinsured motorist claim against my own insurance policy. Tim got me a settlement against the lady who hit me and a settlement with my insurance. He also got me permanent total disability benefits on my workers’ compensation case. I get a check every week form Work Comp and think of Tim every time I receive it. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Tim at a 15.”
